Elizabeth Corkum (AKA “Coach Corky”) is one of New York City’s top running coaches. Whether you’re looking to run your first mile or your first marathon, Coach Corky will get you there with a solid plan and positive, supportive training.
Welcome to Coach Corky Runs! I’m Corky, and I’m delighted you found me and my business. I view the coach/athlete relationship as a collaboration, and am excited to work with runners of all levels who are eager for a true partnership as we support you in your running and racing goals. I personally love coaching adult runners to their goals. Pace and experience don’t matter to me – if you are coachable and eager to improve, I’d love to hear from you.
My favorite distance to race and coach is the marathon, though I have extensive experience with both coaching and racing everything from the 5K through ultra marathon events.
You can expect I come to the coaching role with a positive and caring attitude that’s supported by science, over a decade of experience and a slew of coaching certifications. We will always prioritize you and your general health over everything, and I value open communication, honesty and a sense of humor through the journey.
If you’d like to get in touch, please fill out my assessment form or send me an email. My roster does tend to be at or close to capacity, but if I can’t personally assist I will do my best to make a referral to another coach.
